My sponsor is my father, who is self-employed. I plan to submit a Certificate of Tax Payment as proof of income, but it does not state the annual income. What should I do?

📝 Additional Information
📄 Alternative Documentation to Use
If you are requested to submit "Statement of Income", you must submit a document that clearly shows annual income. Acceptable options include:
-
Income Statement
-
Tax Assessment Certificate
-
A different version of the tax certificate that includes income details
These documents should come from a trusted public office (such as a local tax office) and show the income for the most recent year.
📌 Important Notes

Submitting a tax certificate without income details may delay or negatively affect your application.
-
Each school or visa center may have slightly different requirements. Always check directly with them.
-
If you’re unsure, ask your school to review your documents before submitting your application.

Can my father write a letter about his income?
